The Palolo Worm.

Mr. William B. Churchman, late
British Consul at the Samoan Islands,
has just put forth an account of his
Consulate. While in the Islands he
had the rare good fortune to witness
the annual arrival of these curious
marine creatures which, we are told,
"make their appearance in prodigious
numbers at certain points in the reef
openings only once year, and just
for single hour Immediately before
SUNRISE" "The time of their ar
rival" we are further told, "is cal
culated to moment by observing
thejuxtaposition of the moon with
certain star f; and should they fail to
appear on that day, they are sure to
do so on that day four weeks"
These worms are considered great de-
licacies. Mr.. Churchward thus de-
scribes his sight of them:
Suddenly, as if let lose at the one
exact time, were to be seen wrig-
Cling and writhing up from the Meth
ermost depths millions upon millions
of long thread-like worms of many
colors, all seeming to be racing at
their topmost speed to arrive at the
surface and make the most of the
short time permitted them for their
annual exhibition. Up they came
in myriads until the surface was
thickly covered with one solid ver-
miculating mass Of living animals.
Shouting and laughing, everyone
now piled his or her scoop as busily
as possible bailing up the writing
delicacies at top speed, to make as
good use Of the short time available
as could be. No sooner had the sun
thrown his first ray on the water
than, as if by magic, with the same
common accord with which they
had risen to the surface, they all dis
appeared, sinking lower and lower
to the debths below, until not a sim
gle sign of their presence was to be
observed in the very spot where, a
moment before, the water was per-
fectly muddy with animal life"

The Builders of the Pyramids.

A personal inspection of the pyra-
mids of Egypt made by quarry
owner, who spent some time recently
on the Nile, had led him to the con-
clusion that the old Egyptians were
better builders than those of the pres
ent day. He states that there are
blocks ofstone in the pyramids which
weigh three or four times as much as
the obeliSk on the embankment. He
saw stone whose estimated weight
was $50 tons. But then the builders
of the pyramids counted human labor
lightly. They had great masses of
subjects upon whom to draw, and
most of their work was done by sheer
manual labor and force. There are
stones in the pyramids thirty feet in
length, which fit so closely together
that a penknife may be run over the
surface without discovering the break
between them. They are not laid
with mortar either. There is no ma
chinery so perfect that it will make
two surfaces thirty feet in length
which will meet together in unison
as these stones in the pyrmids meet.
1t is supposed that they were rubbed
backward and forward upon each
other until the surfaces were assimi.

THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

IT'S the week before Christmas,
And all in the house
Are plotting and planning
As sly as mouse.
Strange bundles are struggled
Inside, unaware,
And hidden away with
The greatest of care.
The children, with secrets
They're burning 20 tell,
And in an excitement
That nothing can quell,
Are hourly asking
How many more days
Before it is Christmas,
With cheeks all ablaze.
The old folks, as eager,
The fever have caught,
And crowd in the places
Where presents are bought.
To them Merry Christmas
is sweeter, we know,
Than when their own stockings
Were filed long ago.
Way up from the kitchen
Spiced odors arise
OF genuine, homemade,
Delicious mince pies,
Just stuffed full of raisins
As big and as round
AS little Jack Homer
So happily found.
The long winter nights
All much longer appear,
For who can sleep soundly
With Christmas 50 near?
And now, for the stockingsl
No tots tiny hose
Can hold half the treasures
Kriss Kringle bestows;
So mammals great big ones
Are got with delight,
All ready to hang up
On Santa Claus night.
Now, Christmas is near! aud
st. Nick in his sleigh,
Behind his swift reindeers,
Is flying this way.
He's now on the snow.clouds,
He'll be at your gate;
Prepare for his coming
There's no time to wait.

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes infamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells Of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

The richest silver mine in the world is Potosi.
 Silver was extremely abundant in ancient times.
 Total production of silver in Nevada, $353, 100000.
 Annual silver production of North America, SS5,000,000.
 The yearly product of the mines of Africa is estimated to be S5,C00.
 Silver, as regards its mines, IS represented in every portion of our planet.
 Asia (including Australia, New Zealand and Oceanica) produces S1,950,000 a year.
 The export of silver from the United States since 1S4S has amounted to S451, ,746,771.
 The annual product of the sil- yer mines of South America is estimated to be S26,000,000.
 Silver mines in Europe yield annually S13,OOO,OOO, and their total product has amounted to S13,62S,OO0,OOO.
 The highest silver deposit in the world is on King Solomon's mountain, in Colorado, II, 900 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
 The largest nugget of silver yet obtained was dug up in Arizona and weighed 43,200 ounces, valued at the same number of dollars.
 The silver mines of Mexico were worked long before Cortez revealed them to the eyes of Europe in 1513. The product per year at the present time is esti- mated to be S32,0O0,O00.
 Charles Lyell, the eminent geo. logist, says that the interior of Mexico is the richest known ar gentiferous section in the world. The fact was long ago established that a metaliferous vein runs with out interruption through the en- tire length of the Cordillera of Anahuac, extending from the Sierra Madre in Sonora, near the northern border, to the gold de posits of Oaxaca, in the extreme south of Mexico. This exhaustive vein traverses no less than seven- teen States, and since the day of its discovery it's mineral yield has been more than S,000,000.000 worth. And yet these valuable sources of wealth are estimated to be rot more than one per cent of the undeveloped and undiscovered whole.
